Another advertisement find. This one is for "Queen Shears" Sold by the H.Collett & Sons Dry Goods and Groceries. They also sold hardware and implements. The front says Henry Sears & Son 1865. I am thinking they are the makers of the shears. Card is in good shape except for one corner. Not sure of the age, but definitely old and fragile. I thought it had some pretty neat graphics to be so old. Thanks for looking.

Parental discretion advised!

hotkitties, 3 years agoI wish I had that as a huge framed print. I love it ;)

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agoThanks hotkitties ! That is quite a scene going on in that house ! It looks like the dog wants no part of what is going on, and is running for his life ! I thought that was an unusual way to advertise scissors. Thanks for looking !

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agoThanks lisa and vanskyock24 for looking and the love !

hotkitties, 3 years agoLooks to me like to dog already lost his tail!!

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agoI think you are right hotkitties ! That monkey was terrorizing everything in the house. Bird looks kind of calm, but has one leg up ready to take off !! Wait a minute.... are those feathers on the floor ???

hotkitties, 3 years agomonkey will be the only one left with a tail!
I love this!

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agotrue.....hehe. Too bad I did not find the sequel card !

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agoThanks vintagemad, and thanks again to hotkitties for the humor !

ThriftyGypsy, 3 years agoThanks AR8Jason for the information. I will jot this information in my notebook for future reference. Am I to assume that Henry Sears & Co. became Sears and Roebuck ? That is a cool time line for how the company changed over time.
